New WinFBB-32 version

A new version for the WIN32 platforms is under develoment. This version is now compiled with
the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 instead of the Borland compiler. The Graphic interface now uses
the MFC classes.

Some information :

There is (actually) no new feature compared to the 7.00g version

Most of the basic code is now running quite well

The new graphic interface is 80% written. Some configuration windows are not still designed

The FBB kernel (task management) has been fully rewritten to be event
oriented instead of polling the drivers. Now each time something happends in a
driver, the FBB task is awaited and processes the event. So the code will have
a very low CPU activity in idle mode. But all the drivers have to be rewritten !

All the TNC (or similar like Telnet) drivers are now coded in a DLL. All the
driver DLLs have a set of standard and documented interface functions. New
drivers may be added (or removed) without changing or compiling the code to
allow third party development (or replacement) of drivers
